Hey all just wanted to share. Te other night I was coming home from work on a rural highway and I was coming out a turn. A line of cars blinded me and the next thing I know I ran over the head of a rather large dead animal. The front and back end of my my bike began to shake violently. Fortunately I knew what to do. I loosened my grip eased off the throttle and hugged the tank. Main thing is that while it is definately pretty scary don't panic because unles you are really going fast this can be corrected. First mod to my bike is gonna be an HID Headlight! I may just right with brights in the mean time even with on coming traffic.

They only lasted 3 days and they fell off on their own but left the adhesive on the tank. I tried peeling the a...

Hi guys, This is probably an easy questions for some of you. Are the decals on the tank cover in a clear coat or are they just slapped on? I've been toying around with the idea of removing them for a while and I'm taking off the side cover emblems probably this weekend or the next. I don't w...

So, I tried to max out my bike because I'm an idiot (why else?) on the freeway with no traffic. My bike is totally stock and have not changed the suspension settings yet. I noticed that north of roughly 90mph is nearly impossible to stay on the bike. I had to resort to laying almost flat ov...
